Maple Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies

A friend of mine gave me a sample of her mother in law’s oatmeal maple sandwich cookies and I asked for the recipe but her husband said they are illegal cookies and the recipe is a secret. So I went on Google and found a couple of recipes which seemed similar and adapted them to make them eggless! Actually she was going to give me the recipe but she was away, or at least that’s the story she told me! 🙂

Here is an eggless version:

Maple Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies:

Cream together:

6 tbsp softened butter

2 tbsp shortening

1 cup packed brown sugar

Then add;

2 tbsp egg replacer mixed with 6 tbsp of water (equivalent to 2 eggs)

2 tbsp maple syrup

Mix well and then add the dry ingredients:

1 and 1/2 cup flour

1 and 1/2 cup oats

1/2 tsp baking soda

pinch salt

1/4 tsp cinnamon

Incorporate well and drop by spoonfuls onto parchment lined sheet pans. I used a small cookie scoop and then flattened the cookies with a fork.
